"In 2012, despite a refugee crisis between the borders of Papua New Guinea and West Papua, the country, under O’Neill, was steadfast in its support to Indonesia, which promised Papua New Guinea a bigger role in ASEAN in the future. In September 2017, Papua New Guinea rejected the West Papuan Independence Petition in the United Nations General Assembly, to the pleasure of Indonesia."

About 10% of west New Guinea's 4 million people have been killed during 50 years.

After 2 years of watching George Webb, I have my doubts whether any of this stuff is what it appears to be.

Did the cars come in under diplomatic immunity?

Why is the aircargo company connected to anti-terrorism and peacekeeping operations, and sensitive temperature controlled pharmaceuticals transport?

Note "costs covered by the private sector"
What's that all about?

What airport did they land at and what was shipped out?

Seems to be some kidnappings and landowner disputes with the tribes in the highlands near Komo Airport, built for Antonovs by Exxon Mobil.

If they are worth $200k to $350k each why is $16m a deposit?

These things need to be looked at closer.

strangley enough I am less offended by the corrupt PNG Government than the millions upon millions of Aussie taxes wasted on the corrupt gw industry and the huge electricity prices we are paying for the myth. At least the PNG guys are seem open about the corruption unlike the gw industry.

Hi Foxy,
Bentley's?
Nice find, there will be more to this behind the scenes I bet.

I'm with Jacinta Adern on this, I wouldn't be riding in those Maserati's.
I bet all these cars are compromised and fitted with spy gear.

Or something.

As I have said before, international aid is often the transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to the rich people in poor countries.

I'm sure the second-hand price of a Maserati is the same as that of a new one. (sic)

In this case we paid for them.
Diplomacy demands we not openly say enough
And China wanting power there says we dare not fall out with the grubby government currently ripping the guts out of that country
